Better than Takeout Pad Thai

✓Cook noodles according to package instructions, just until tender. Rinse under cold water.⁠
✓Mix the sauce ingredients. Set aside.⁠
✓Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat.⁠
✓Add the shrimp, chicken or tofu, garlic, and bell pepper. The shrimp will cook quickly, about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink. If using chicken, cook until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, flipping only once.⁠
✓Push everything to the side of the pan. Add a little more oil and add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula as they cook.⁠
✓Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts, and peanuts to the pan (reserving some peanuts for topping at the end). Toss everything to combine.⁠
Top with green onions, extra peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.⁠
Serve immediately!⁠
